Worklight Retainer Clip Installation

I am trying to rebuild the work light assembly on my Jubilee. I have the work light housing and rim but need to install the new bulb. I purchased the 6V dimpled glass bulb and retainer clips but have had no luck in figuring out how the retainer clips hold the bulb in. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Not something that one can descripe in a chat forum but they will work.

The best I can do is that I install one end of the spring retainer first before forcing the other end down below the lip of the housing.

The next time will be easier.

Does the bulb go deep enough into the case, to leave enough clearance for the snap ring under the lip?

What Dean says. I assume you are talking about the original Ford implement lamp assembly. Wear safety glasses! Take one clip and hold against shoulder of lamp to see which way it goes. Then put lamp in bezel housing and proceed. Fit one end up under the lip of the bezel and using needle nose pliers grab onto the other end and pull til it falls up under the lip too. Often the clip will slip off the pliers and launch across the room -hence the reason to wear safety glasses! The pack of repro clips Carpenter sells contains three clips. I have found the lamp is held better using four clips. Your call. Here's a trick: Looking at the bezel, the screw hole that will fasten the bezel to the housing is at the 12 O'clock position. There is a tab that will help hold the bezel on the housing at the 6 O'clock position. You want to place the clips at 10, 2, 4, and 8 positions if using four clips. If using three clips, try 10, 2 and either 5 or 7. Sometimes you can use a screwdriver instead of needle nose pliers, but use caution incase it slips -you don't want to stab yourself. All of these procedures are based on my experience of rebuilding many worklights and are tried and true methods. Good luck...

I am at work. I have several old work lights. I can take one apart and take a picture and post it if you can't figure it out from the other
posters' descriptions.

A picture would be most helpful - I am not having much luck. Thanks

I finally got it done. The bezel was bent and once straightend it allowed me to snap them all in. Thanks for the help

Thanks for all the help. It took a while but I finally got them installed.
